Answers:
Self injury (SI) self harm (SH) or deliberate self-harm (DSH) is deliberate infliction of tissue damage or alteration to oneself without suicide intent. There are a number of different treatments available for self-injures which concentrate on either treating the underlying causes or treating the behaviour its-self. When self-injury is associated with depression antidepressants drugs and treatments may be effective.
Alternative approaches involve avoidance techniques, which focus on keeping the self-injurer occupied with other activities, or replacing the act of self-harm with safer methods method that do not lead to permanent damage.
RISK FACTORS:
1. Substance abuse
2. Lack of trust from environments of parents that punish children for expressing sadness or hurt can attribute to lack of trust in oneself.

Your not doing it for attention... think about it...but your telling and asking hundreds here online...
From a non professional opinion and perhaps a little experience, it may be attention or frustration, even low self esteem. Most people who do suffer from depression cannot self diagnos... i know, best go see your local doctor. It took that to tell me the obvious. PS, i didnt want to kill myself either but it didnt stop me punching things that were a little harder than my hand. Take care friend.Health Question & Answer

Cutting is usually a sign of low self - esteem, depression, or because you have emotions that you do not know how to express to others.
I advise that you go get help for this right away. Talk to your parents, friend, or a psychologist immediately, before it gets any worse.

Hope this helped!

It could be boredom or low self worth or other reasons - there are many...

You should talk to your parents, or if you can't go to your GP and discuss the issue with them, they'll probably suggest counselling. This is known as a talking therapy and really does work wonders for a lot of people!

I feel like people who cut themselves do it because they haven't found a healthy way to release and express those feelings. You really do need to stop doing it. You could screw up and kill yourselve way easilyHealth Question & Answer
